Short bio:
I found my calling in 1977 at the age of nine when I put my fingers on a QWERTY keyboard which was attached to a TRS-80 Model I Basic Programming Computer at my Shell Point Elementary Grade School! I knew right then and there that I was an artist born to program. The keys reminded me of musician playing the guitar or piano and all I had to do was learn how to turn the keystrokes into music and the PC Box into a machine. I study people and human nature and mimic it in my scripts and sub-routines. I apply my math and logic skills and compile it with a dash of common sense, that rely on the laws of physics to turn it into a reality or what my audience would like to call an application. Programming languages are now my colored pencils and painted brushes and I like to use the World Wide Web as "my canvas". I like to take a picture of my audience (as they pass by); of their lives and tuck them away in any ole' rag tag SQL Database.
Interests:
I specialize in Artificial Intelligence, System and Home Automation and believe that the entire world will eventually be automated by a few simple lines of code typed in by a PROGRAMMER like me. Although I started off with high level languages such as Basic and Pascal. I eventually transitioned over to dBase III+ and Clipper in the Summer of 87, and settled down with the second oldest language known to modern computers, a language known as cLisp combined with RPN(Reverse Polish Notation)
Tech Interests:
in the Winter of 96; Coincidentally enough it was the perfect time to mix and match my skills with xHTML and a little bit of Perl which I found cludgy and lethargic. I think that all languages and ideas have a place in the CPU environment but using the right one at EXACTLY the right time is what defines one person to be a Programmer and another man an ARTIST. I especially like to take designers and "would be" programmers and turn them into professionals of the modern Internet world....
